Hello everyone

I am rather disappioted. I baked five laoves of bread today and the laoves all split. I used the same formula that i use everytime.same shaping technique and cannot undesrtand what happened. Would anyone like to suggest anty help and also possible solutions.

The formula I used was 500g 50/50 whole meal and white flour

starter 130 gr

water 300g

salt 8g.

mixing time was 4 hours proving at room temperature

and after scaling and shaping 4 hours at room temperature

here is some pictures i took to show

so sorry i cant upload oicures to the post sorry all but thank you in advance and i hope you may be able to help. bya albert

It was a new btch of flour, I tried so hard to upload the pictures on here maybe i do not understsnd the process. i could send you an email (private) maybe it will work then. I admith that i am a total nerd when it comes to technology.bye albert

/thank you very much for adding the photos. I will learn to do it some day. /i parreciate your commnet and advice. will pay attention to the proving next time. No use worrying to much nolw improve next time.

thank you, cant think how it happened. Mini Oven did not show a picture of the top , but i did score the bread. I will have to sit and think back what went wrong and improve next time, could be that the temperature dropped as you suggested. thank you for taking time to critique and make suggestions it helps to make me feel better
